A Conversation
To celebrate the fact that we both have relatively new releases Julie Bozza suggested we have a bit of a chat about our work. Chatting is always fun and so is Julie, so I jumped at the chance. This is the result:
An interview that turned into a conversation between Elin Gregory, author of The Bones of Our Fathers, and Julie Bozza, author of A Night with the Knight of the Burning Pestle.Experience and/or Research?
Julie: Congratulations on your lovely new novel, The Bones of Our Fathers. I lo...

It’s release day for The Bones of Our Fathers
This one is a bit edgy for me because it’s my first proper try at a contemporary story so I tried to write something I knew about – life in a small town – with a profession I knew a bit about – working in a small cash-strapped museum.
It was sheer self indulgence to make the love interest a heavy plant operator because I do love the big machines. In the archaeological world those huge scary things can be used with considerable finesse. They are also appealing on their own account – all that p...

Life is full of decisions and it’s the split-second ones that change your world forever.
Nick Shepherd made such a decision on the day his son, Jesse, was taken from a Christmas market in Naperville. The woman looked normal and had a son of her own, and he was only going to be a minute. But that minute was all she needed. His son was gone.

Release Blitz! Junk (The Bristol Collection 1) by Josephine Myles #Giveaway
I’m so glad this book is being released again, keeping its original cover. I love it to bits, especially Jasper because I feel a real kinship for anyone who takes comfort from tottering towers of books. Also with Lewis’s wildly embarrassing parents.
